Poultry Market Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, and Forecast 2025-2034 | Global Industry Growth, Competitive Landscape, Opportunities, and Challenges

Global Poultry Market is valued at USD 350.2 billion in 2025. Further, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% to reach USD 620.1 billion by 2034.

The global poultry market is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising demand for poultry meat and eggs due to their affordability, nutritional value, and lower environmental footprint compared to other animal proteins. Poultry, including chicken, turkey, and duck, has become a staple protein source worldwide, supported by advancements in breeding, feed efficiency, and disease control. The market is also influenced by changing dietary preferences, with an increasing shift toward lean protein sources. Additionally, the expansion of fast-food chains and processed poultry products is fueling global consumption.

While developed nations focus on quality, organic, and antibiotic-free poultry, emerging economies are witnessing rapid growth in poultry farming to meet protein demands. The industry is also shifting towards sustainability, with improved farm management practices, alternative feed sources, and biosecurity measures enhancing productivity and environmental responsibility.

In 2024, the poultry market witnessed significant advancements in precision farming, disease management, and alternative protein integration. AI-driven farm monitoring systems improved poultry health and efficiency by tracking real-time data on feed conversion, water intake, and growth rates. The demand for organic and antibiotic-free poultry continued to rise, prompting investments in natural feed additives such as probiotics and essential oils to enhance bird health without antibiotics. Sustainable poultry farming methods, including vertical farming and regenerative agriculture, gained traction, reducing environmental impact and improving land use efficiency.

Additionally, innovations in alternative poultry proteins, such as lab-grown chicken and plant-based poultry substitutes, began expanding market offerings. Governments worldwide strengthened biosecurity regulations following avian influenza outbreaks, leading to enhanced vaccination programs and stricter poultry trade policies to safeguard global supply chains.

Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, the poultry market is expected to witness further integration of automation, sustainability practices, and diversification of protein sources. AI-powered robotics will play a greater role in poultry processing and packaging, reducing labor costs and improving hygiene standards. Precision nutrition strategies, driven by big data analytics, will enhance poultry growth efficiency and health management. The development of insect-based and algae-based feed will further address sustainability challenges, reducing reliance on traditional soy and corn-based feeds.

The market for hybrid poultry products, blending traditional poultry with plant-based ingredients, will continue to expand, catering to flexitarian and environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, growing investments in cold chain logistics and supply chain resilience will enhance poultry distribution, ensuring stable pricing and product availability in the face of climate-related disruptions. As global food security remains a priority, the poultry market will continue to evolve, adapting to technological advancements and changing consumer expectations.
